Subject: Garbage Collector(GC) and nil

Hello fellows, I'm wondering if I should set to nil any variables that I
will not use anymore for the sake of save memory system, I didn't see
this way of work but I'm curious of what you can say.
 I'm not sure about how GC works, tell me if I'm wrong: the GC will
erase in memory those "labels" that are pointing to nil, so, if I set to
nil any variables, that space in memory will be free again.
 I'll aprreciate any explanation.
